Fr Ted creator/writer Graham Linehan Arrested over posts on Transgender issues

The likes of Linehan and the hateful cult he is imbedding himself with is what that poem was warning about.

I'm not interested in whataboutery.

You've not pointed out the alleged unfairness though. The man was arrested and released without charge. Not remotely comparable with enduring the holocaust. Ironically, Linehan is fully on board with genocide when it suits him.

Never heard of her, but I assume this is the tweet you are hilariously down playing?

She literally tried to incite a pogrom.

No, I'm comparing a tweet from a grieving woman whose own daughter had died, written in the heat of the moment after learning that three little girls had been murdered - a tweet she deleted an hour later and apologised for - and comparing that to any number of cases where people have called for violence against women, or against political opponents, and asking why that one deserved months in prison, or why Linehan's joke required him to be arrested by armed police, and not the others which were blatantly calling to actually kill people.

There's a double standard on display here, and more importantly, two-tier policing in the UK.

Well you will have ask her. She admitted it. Linehan was clever enough not to I suppose.

In his sentencing remarks, Judge Melbourne Inman said Connolly's offence was "category A" - meaning "high culpability" - and that both the prosecution and her own barrister agreed she "intended to incite serious violence".

For Reader, this showed "they weren't arguing this was a silly tweet and she should be let off - her own counsel agreed this was a serious issue".

At her appeal, Connolly claimed that while she accepted she intended to stir up racial hatred, she always denied trying to incite violence.

But Lord Justice Holroyde said in a judgement this week the evidence "clearly shows that she was well aware of what she was admitting".

Because they are a small and powerless group who are the target of a concerted campaign of hate by the international far right, which includes the governments of the USA, Russia, Israel for starters, most US and UK mainstream media, the owners of all the major social media websites, masses of headbangers with major public platforms, as well as millions of anonymous rage farmers like you.

Trans people are now the target of a mass propaganda hate campaign which is indeed reminscent of that faced by Jews in Europe in the 1930s and sick people like you are only too happy to be part of it.

But shouldn't we all be like this?

Like, I would class myself as left-leaning on social issues and right-leaning on economic issues, because I don't think my thoughts on trans rights, abortion rights or whatever else should have any impact on my views on taxation or welfare spending. They're completely and utterly unconnected issues.

And this is what fascinates me about Linehan. He started with the trans issue and has moved onto climate change denial, vaccine conspiracy, shilling for Israel and celebrator of ICE murdering unarmed people protesting illegal deportations. Someone will have to explain to me why these apparently unconnected issues have to be lumped together.

What connects attacking trans people to being anti-choice on abortion, climate change denial, vaccine conspiracism, shilling for Israel and celebrating ICE murdering unarmed civilians etc. etc. etc. is cruelty.

I'm sure you could write books about the psychological thought processes at play in the connection between all these things, and indeed people have done, but at the same time you can basically reduce it to one word and that is cruelty.

People with a public platform who go down the brain rot route pretty much always go for the full menu brain rot. Belief in cruelty is all encompassing. Linehan is a cog in a mass industrial fascist bullshit machine. He relies on all the other cogs in the mass industrial bullshit machine to give him support, to drown out normal people. All the cogs in this mass industrial fascist bullshit machone rely on each other. The mass industrial fascist bullshit machine demands conformity on all topics. It's a mass assult on reason and on civilisation.

This stuff is so feckin obvious.

Is there a women's rights issue that sometimes directly conflicts with trans rights or not? Things like having male criminals declare themselves to be women, sometimes after being arrested for abuse of women or children? Or a trans ID male taking a job conselling rape victims, one that is reserved for women because some rape victims are not comfortable talking openly to males?

If you agree that there is, doesn't that make it entirely different to any comparisons with Jews in Nazi Germany?

If you think there isn't, could you explain why you don't think so?

Graham Linehan is by no means anti choice. He put himself out there to argue for abortion rights in Ireland in a way that few people on here ever did. Probably none.

You're obviously projecting a whole set of beliefs onto anyone you disagree with, but in Linehan's case it's genuinely sad to see the old "eaten bread is soon forgotten" axiom being so clearly demonstrated.
